The Philadelphia ACE Task Force brings you two compelling documentaries that explore the pain of adverse childhood experiences (ACEs) and the hope of healing and resilience.
Philadelphia Premiere
Paper Tigers
James Redford’s moving film follows a year in the life of an alternative high school that has radically changed its approach to disciplining its students, becoming a promising model for how to break the cycles of poverty, violence and disease that affect families.
Portraits of Professional Caregivers: Their Passion, Their Pain
“Who helps the helper?” Emmy Award-winning filmmaker Rodney Whittenberg and partner Vic Compher’s film answers this question, portraying the faces and stories of professionals who care for people affected by adversity and trauma.
